Simon Pegg stars in this 2004 British horror-comedy film as Shaun, a useless but likeable 30something who is struggling with work, family and girlfriend woes, as well as an apocalyptic zombie uprising.

Veteran director Eric Khoo's sophomore feature film weaves three darkly comic stories that take place in the same HDB block in one day. This special 20th-anniversary version features a newly digitised 2k scan of the original film reels.

Born and raised in Ubud, Balinese artist Dana Sulastra expresses the beauty of idyllic Balinese landscapes, moonlit beaches, lotus ponds and bountiful harvests. Instead of a paintbrush, he prefers using a palette knife, stick and his fingers to create images.
